Custom Camshafts

Custom Camshaft Manufacturer

Upgrade Your Engine with a Custom Cam

We define our “custom camshaft” business as camshafts for standard engines that have been customized for your needs.

Cores for most standard GM, Ford and Chrysler engines are available in stock. We utilize ultra-precision CNC cam grinders to provide you with the ultimate camshaft. By utilizing CNC grinders we can grind any profile and are not limited to a selection of masters. A custom-ground cam can usually be shipped very quickly.

LSM typically will customize: Lift, Duration, Lobe Separation, Journal Diameter and Firing Order.

If you are working on a new engine or need a cam for an engine that hasn’t been in production for years then please let us know what you need. We have worked with many customers developing new camshafts. We are very familiar with camshaft requirements and can produce cams to your specifications quickly and accurately.

Why Use LSM Custom Cams

LSM has years of experience making top performing camshafts that will outperform our competition.

Billet vs SADI Camshafts
Why run a Selective Austempered Ductile Iron (SADI) camshaft when you can get a billet cam? Even though the SADI process can squeeze out a bit more performance compared to other cast cams, it won’t compare to a billet camshaft that supports much higher stress levels.

Large Journal Cams
LSM has pioneered large journal cams. These camshafts increase rigidity and offer more aggressive profiles while maintaining valvetrain integrity. These camshafts make more power. PERIOD.

Alternative Fire Orders
We have most firing orders in stock including standard fire, the 4-7 swap (“A”), and the 4-7, 3-2 swap (“C”). These firing orders make more power when matched with the proper manifold and header systems. Alternative fire orders are available for most engine configurations including Ford, Chevy and Chrysler. Custom fire orders for flat plane cranks, reverse rotation cams and reverse rotation crankshafts are also available.

CAMSHAFTS IN ANY SIZE

LSM is an experienced camshaft manufacturer making large cams for generators, locomotives and the military. Many of these larger cams need to be assembled. We can make the connector segments and ship completed cams.

CAMSHAFTS FOR ALL INDUSTRIES

For over 30 years, LSM Systems Engineering has provided custom camshafts to customers in a wide range of industries. We understand the needs of specific applications, such as those required by the military, marine, rail, and automotive industries, among others. We can meet and exceed any industry’s standards.

PROTOTYPE CAMS

We understand that your prototype camshaft is a work in progress. We can make prototypes to your specifications and can review your design for manufacturability. Prototypes can be provided with full source inspection data.

CUSTOM CAM CORES

A cam core is a camshaft that is complete except for the cam lobes. Customers can take these cores (also known as Unground Lobe/UGL cams) and grind a variety of finish grinds. We produce cam cores for customers interested in customizing their own grinds.
